Planning a slime experiment

The students have finished a section on the periodic table and are moving into chemical and physical changes. Next week I am planning a slime lab, where the students will be divided into eight lab groups and each person in the group will make a different type of slime. Differences in the properties of the slime are determined by the added materials beyond the basic materials of borax and white glue solutions. Slime variations are created by adding polystyrene beads, cornstarch, soluble fiber (such as metamucil) or cornstarch and vegetable oil.
